All data collected were analyzed using cross-tabulation and odds ratio with the SPSS program. Results: As many as 68.6% of the respondents had highly severe dental caries (dmf-t>3). The value of theodds ratio between the severity of caries and oral hygiene status was 5.63. While the value of the odds ratio between the severity of caries and water drinking after snacking was 1.89. The odds ratio tests showed oral hygiene status and water drinking after snacking were the risk factors of caries. Conclusion: Age, gender, parent's knowledge, parent's occupation, snacking habit, teeth-brushing habit, water drinking habit, and oral hygiene status were the risk factors influencing the severity levels of dental caries.
